Harrison Elementary School

I really enjoyed my day at Harrison on Friday.  I was in a 1st grade class... the teacher was great amongst the craziness of Halloween and a birthday party in the class!  Everybody was dressed up in costumes except for 3 students that don't celebrate Halloween and as Laura (I think) mentioned they got to attend the Harvest Ball, which I think is an excellent idea for those who don't participate in Halloween to still have something to celebrate.  3 parents helped by bringing in snacks and the child whose birthday it was, her mom brought cupcakes and read the class a story.  Even though not much was done that day it was good to see good strategies to keep an over excited class under control!  At the end of the day the teacher asked me to read a couple Halloween books to the kids which was fun!  I'm looking foward to the next visit.
